Robertsville Middle School is offering Invention Project, a brand new STEM summer camp for rising sixth- to eighth-graders from June 8-12.
Invention Project builds on the great success of the Camp Invention STEM program last summer, a press release said. STEM is an acronym that means science, technology, engineering, and math, but it is also an interdisciplinary educational approach that blends these fields, which are deeply intertwined in the real world and in how students learn most effectively.
The Invention Project summer camp features a variety of entertaining and educational STEM challenges to engage the inventor, artist, and entrepreneur in each participant, the press release said.
RMS is the first school in Tennessee to offer Invention Project, a program that is unique in that it blends fun technical and marketing activities to engage campers in a real-world simulation that goes from inventing a tech product to marketing it to a customer. This week of adventure encourages innovation, and it builds leadership skills and self-confidence—abilities that will be valuable in all aspects of the camper’s life for years to come.
The camp will be held at Robertsville Middle School at 245 Robertsville Road in Oak Ridge from 8:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m from June 8 to 12.
Campers who register by May 15 can get $15 off by using the promotional code SPRING. Oak Ridge Schools district employees get $30 off when they use the code HOST and their school email address. Find out more information and register at www.inventionproject.org.
